More About Grieving And Loss – Homeopathy Helps In The Healing

I have written about grieving in a prior post. I thought about just re-sending that post, but wanted to add a few more thoughts about grieving.

Grief is a feeling, the emotion we experience when we lose something or someone. We feel grief over a loss.

Crying helps. Talking to a friend. Expressing your anger in a constructive way. Taking a bath. Receiving and giving a hug. Creating something. Being out in nature. Basically, being kind to and taking care of yourself.

As a homeopath, I don’t necessarily see people who come in and say I am grieving, and need help for this loss. I take the case, witnessing with the patient what is bothering them. Sometimes a loss is expressed and shared with me. And the person may be grieving for this loss. A loss can be:

• A death – parent, baby, child, spouse, significant other, relative, friend, pet
• A loss of a job – firing, resigning, downsizing, restructuring, retiring
• A move – changing one’s place of residency, a friend moving away, moving to another country, loss of a house/home
• A grown child moving out, or going to college/another city for work/enlisting in the military
• A divorce, a separation, or a relationship ending
• A situation, event or even how you respond to something that is different than what you thought or wanted it to be
• A change in the political climate
• A change in your life – such as becoming a parent, getting married. The change event can be a good and happy one, but there may be some reactions or responses (losses) to these changes.
• A loss of income
• An (ongoing) illness – of oneself or a loved one, an aging parent, a pet
• A war
• A natural disaster – a friend years ago lost her house in a fire
• A restriction, lock down, or lack of freedom – such as we have just been experiencing all over the world
• A possibility or plan change – something we had been looking forward to isn’t happening, a relationship with a person that won’t happen
• I am sure there are other losses

At first the loss is mentioned as the person is talking and telling me about themselves, about how they feel what bothers them, and about their past. The loss is almost mentioned as an aside. Very often, I have noticed that what is bothering them, what brought them to homeopathy started when they experienced this loss. And the loss could have happened several years ago, and has had a lingering effect on the person. The loss could be considered a trauma.

(I came across this photo of this sculpture made by the artist Celeste Roberge on Facebook. It conveys the feelings of grief. Heaviness. Weighted  down. Unable to move. Feeling trapped. Google her to see more of her work.)

Two Women

I want to tell you about two women I have seen who have experienced a loss in their lives.

One woman has been feeling indifferent and apathetic to her life, not wanting to do anything. She is used to being in a work situation that is filled with people, and being involved with working with people together, as a team. She had recently retired. She no longer has this environment. It is a loss for her. It is something that she had always valued, and she misses it. She doesn’t necessarily say it this way, but that is what is expressed. This loss is an important part of her case, telling a lot about her as a person, along with the physical issues that are bothering her.

Another woman had a significant family member pass away. For her, not having this person in her life is very difficult. She has felt since the loss of this person, a numbness, a sense of being scattered, a difficulty focusing, fatigue, and digestive issues.

There is a lot more to each of these two women. I mention them here, because I want to point out that grief and feeling a loss of something, of someone, or of an environment in one’s life, can have an effect on our lives. The person is grieving, and missing what was – a person, an event, a possibility and more.

My Symptoms Keep Coming Back

People ask me, can you help me with ______?

I hear all sorts of health issues that people are experiencing. Such as, a person has pains and discomforts in their feet. Someone has an extremely itchy rash or eczema eruption. Breathing is difficult for someone. Being very anxious in some situations. Feelings of sadness or depression. Not sleeping well. During menstrual cycle certain symptoms come up. Feeling extremely fearful and/or having nightmares. Ongoing headaches, stomachaches, or digestive issues. Unable to focus or concentrate on their work or schoolwork. Painful pains.  Rheumatoid arthritis. Tremors. I hear all sorts of things.

The person is not feeling well, and they want to feel better.

Recurring Health Issue

Their health issue is often something that has been going on for a awhile, or it had gone away and now it is recurring, again. They may have periodic flare ups of it. They are not feeling better, even though they are doing different types of treatments. They want to feel better.

I have written in an earlier post about a young boy who had recurring nasal congestion, fevers and ear infections. The boy had taken several courses of antibiotics. Each time, he would be better for a month or so, and then the whole situation would happen again. The homeopathic remedy that fit him, that was similar to what he was experiencing, helped him a lot.  He no longer experienced the recurrence of the nasal congestion, the fevers, and the ear infections. 

Often when there is a recurring health issue, the treatments being used help to ease and to palliate when there is an outbreak or flare up. These treatments help the person feel better for the time being, but don’t heal the health issue. The person needs to continue taking the medications or treatments to feel better, often accepting that these recurrences will happen again, and again.

Does this sound like you?

Healing With Homeopathy

Homeopathy heals at the root cause of what is bothering the person. It is a deep healing. As the person heals, the recurrences and flare ups become less and less, till they no longer happen at all. It is a healing. With the young boy I wrote of, I had thought there might be a recurrence of the ear infection as he was healing, but there wasn’t. The cycle was broken. With an adult, the stopping of the cycle may take longer to happen than with this young boy, since the adult has had this health issue for a longer period of time. But the cycle does end.

I invite you to see how homeopathy can help a recurring health issue that you have. Either contact me here, through this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com.
